Buying on book club recommendations: Pros and cons

Martin Benson Martin Benson

Many people join book clubs in order to read books for free and look at discussion questions for the books they are reading. Books for book clubs are normally incredibly intellectual and insightful, stimulating many a good discussion. However, is it worth buying a book from a book club recommendation?

Pros

Good books are often featured in book clubs such as Richard and Judy’s, where they review the latest books and also provide book previews and book suggestions for their audience. So, what is a book review used for in a book club? Novel reviews on a popular book or a new book can persuade you to buy it or stay away, depending on how good a review it gets from the book club. Influencing your personal reading choices
Also, book club lists are guaranteed to have some books in there that you would enjoy to read in your own time. Therefore book club ideas for good books would be good recommendations for what you should buy for your own reading. For scholastic books, book clubs UK are very handy for knowing what to look for. Because the books they discuss tend to be intellectual in nature, people in book clubs are like a scholastic website in how knowledgeable they are on the subject and the best book club books know scholastics so well that they could do printable versions for teachers.

Cons

However, there are dangers to buying books recommended by book clubs. Not for all tastes
Readings loved by book clubs may not necessarily be in your taste and therefore, good book club books don’t always make for good books for you to read in your own time. Online books may not be popular with book clubs
Also, when looking at online books, book clubs will not always be very knowledgeable on the subject. Hence, their recommendations may not be the best course of action. Personal judgement
Basically, when looking for a good book, you need to know what you want before you start looking. If you take the say-so of a book club on everything, then you will end up with a book collection that doesn’t really interest you - you will never read half of them ever again. Listen to your own advice before you ask that of others.
